9 Movies That Blatantly Ripped Off Video Games

9. Brightburn Ripped Off Injustice: Gods Among Us

Brightburn is a movie that asked the question, “What if child superman was innately evil?”

The answer to that is he kills people and animals using his crazy superpowers. There is a scene in Brightburn where the Superman-esque preteen, Brandon, decides to kill his “Pa” Kent stand-in, Kyle, in a manner that seems all too familiar.

After Kyle has his suspicions confirmed that mini Bizarro Superman is in fact murdering fools in cold blood, he sets up a fake hunting trip where he plans to kill Brandon. When Kyle finally pulls the trigger, the bullet ricochets off the adolescent Man Of Steal's head.

In retaliation, Brandon uses his laser vision to burn through Kyle’s skull.

Lovely.

It is a creative fatality-style kill, but if you played Injustice: Gods Among Us in 2013, you'd seen this exact scene when Superman killed Shazam.

In the game, Superman killing Shazam is a shocking moment that illustrates just how far gone this alternate universe's Superman has gone. In Brightburn, it is like Superman killing a crappy stepdad.

One clearly carries a bit more emotional weight.
